Deleting Old (Non-Boot) Windows Vista Directory From Command-Line

Thursday, May 24, 2018

Does anyone have a good script that will delete an old, non-booting, inactive Windows directory from the command-line?

Answer

Umm...

rd /s /q

From a CMD command prompt.

How's that work for you?

Edit:

Okay-- how about:

takeown /F  /R /D Y
cacls  /T /G Everyone:F
rd /s /q

Should be run from an elevated command-prompt.
